Subject:	SGP/MWR - MWR Scaled sondes too wet
DataStreams:	sgplssondeC1.c1
Description:	As discussed in P000109.1, two of the MWR scaled radiosondes were scaled such that the relative humidity profiles greatly exceeded 100% RH for large fractions of the profile. The two launches that were affected were on 991203.0531 and 991204.0530. In both cases, the scale factor was on the order of 1.9. Users should beware of all MWR scaled radiosondes with scale factors outside the range of 0.8 - 1.2.
Measurements:	sgplssondeC1.c1: Humidity, relative(rh)

Subject:	SGP/SONDE/C1 - Bad Temperature Sensor
DataStreams:	sgplssondeC1.c1, sgpqmemwrcolC1.c1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:	It appears that the temperature sensor broke upon launch and therefore the reported temperature is approximately 40 degC too low.

DataStreams:	sgplssondeC1.c1, sgpqmemwrcolC1.c1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:	It appears that the temperature sensor broke shortly after launch. Temperatures are offset by approxmiately (but not constantly) 40 degC.

Subject:	Bad temperature sensor
DataStreams:	sgplssondeC1.c1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:	It appears that the temperture sensor broke a few seconds into flight. This results in an unreasonably low temperature for the rest of the flight. For some reason, the rh values also go missing shortly after launch. Only the wind and pressure data are reliable.

DataStreams:	sgpsondeC1.00, sgplssondeC1.c1, sgpsondewnpnC1.a1, sgpsondewnpnC1.b1
Description:	These sonde launches where unsuccessful due to problems with the antenna configuration resulting in signal loss before the launch.
